A piece of unknown metal with mass 68.6 g is heated to an initial temperature of 100 °C and dropped into 42 g of water (with an

initial temperature of 20 °C) in a calorimeter. The final temperature of the system is 52.1°C. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g*⁰C. What is the specific heat of the metal?

The piece of unknown metal is in thermal equilibrium with water such that Q of metal is equal to Q of the water. We write this equality as follows:

-Qm = Qw

Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

where C is the specific heat capacities of the materials.

We calculate as follows:

-(Mass of metal (Cm)(ΔT)) = Mass of water (Cw) (ΔT)

-68.6 (Cm)(52.1 - 100) = 42 (4.184) (52.1 - 20)

Cm = 1.717 -----> OPTION C

The concentration of protein in a urine sample is calculated to be 2.77 μg/mL. What is the concentration of this solution in uni
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is 2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}

Explanation:

Units of measurement are established models for measuring different quantities. The conversion of units is the transformation of a quantity, expressed in a certain unit of measure, into an equivalent one, which may or may not be of the same system of units.

In this case, the conversion of units is carried out knowing that 1 μg are equal to 2.205*10⁻⁹ Lb and  1 mL equals 0.00022 Gallons. So

2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}

If 1 μg equals 2.205*10⁻⁹  lb, 2.77 μg how many lb equals?

lb=\frac{2.77ug*2.205*10^{-9}lb }{1ug}

lb=6.10785*10⁻⁹

So, 2.77 μg= 6.10785*10⁻⁹ lb

Then:

2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = \frac{2.77 ug}{mL}=\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{mL} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal} =\frac{6.10785*10^{-9}lb }{0.00022 gal}

You get:

2.77 \frac{ug}{mL} = 2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}

<u><em>The concentration of this solution in units of pounds per gallon is </em></u>2.776*10^{-5} \frac{lb}{gal}<u><em></em></u>

How many grams of the excess reactant remain assuming the reaction goes to completion and that you start with 15.5g of na2s and
tangare [24]
The reaction between Na2S and CuSO4 will give us the balanced chemical reaction of,
                                     Na2S + CUSO4 --> Na2SO4 + CuS
This means that for every 78g of Na2S, there needs to be 159.6 g of CuSO4. The ratio is equal to 0.4887 of Na2S: 1 of CuSO4. Thus, for every 12.1g of CuSO4, we need only 5.91 g of Na2S. Thus, there is an excess of 9.58 g of Na2S. The answer is letter C.

A rock falls off a cliff and hits the ground after three seconds. What is its velocity right before it hits the ground?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
To solve this kinematics formula use the following equation:

Vf = Vi + at
Vf = 0 + (9.81 m/s^2)(3 seconds)
Vf = 29.43 m/s and or about 29.4 m/s of reported to 3 significant figures.

Roman55 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is

2. Water

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree. It is connected to the capacity of the substance to retain heat as well as the rate at which it will cool down or heat up when exposed to a specific amount of heat loss or heat supplied. A substance with a low heat capacity such as iron will cool down or heat up more quicker than a substance with a high heat capacity such as water.

From the list of substances water has the highest heat capacity, (4.18 J/g) as such it will retain heat for the longest period of time.
